I picked up a tenkara rod from the Czech Republic via ebay for less than £60 new, inc P&P
that's the tenkara rod at the bottom, with its case in the middle. On the top is the butt section from a 4 piece 9 footer just for scale.
Not entirely sure what I'll use it for - but have been doing some nymphing/bugging for grayling with my regular fly rods with leader to hand method and no fly line out of the rod - so I think that's probably where it will fit it. It'll also fit in the rear pocket of my fishing vest, so it can be carried along as a 2nd rod without getting in the way.
the rod is incredibly thin at the tip, so it'll fun to play with in close quarters stuff.
oh, and bought some more of the excellent barbless, black hooks from fishonproductions - I really like their range of hooks.
